Be careful when helping Chile get their goals. They claim now that Pisco (a Peruvian brandy originally from the ancient town of Pisco in Peru) is Chilean. Soon they will claim Scotch is Chilean too and will found a new town in Chile called Scotland to support this.

I've read and reviewed several articles on the Economist online. This is one of few that completely follows the Economist Style Guide while maintaining very clear, coherent writing. It's very enjoyable to read.

The financial crisis of 2008 caused havoc in the real estate development business worldwide.

70% of the established real estate development firms went out of business.

Now, real estate development niche developing is booming Worldwide and entrepreneurs with a zest for new business opportunity and high income are learning how to develop real estate under a Certification, Mentoring Real Estate Development Course.

"The void of real estate developer talent gone is being filled by entrepreneurs seeking opportunity and a lucrative career putting together prime real estate developments for joint venture investors hungry for real estate investments" Jackie Smith, Director stated at a recent conference held in Ghana, Africa.

Like the Silicon Valley and Chile, an entire new industry has been created for entrepreneurial spirited individuals Worldwide seeking to learn the skills required to put together $5,000,000-$100,000,000 real estate developments - working on a 10% equity position.

"Graduated span the Globe from almost every country in the World" Ms. Smith added.

Though an intense Application process screens for only the best talent, it is good to see that once deadened entrepreneurial industries like real estate development are returning.

The Chile experiment in technology is a natural. As long as entrepreneurs and creative people strive to improve their fortunes, then, somehow, the economies of the World will have a chance to recover.

You are right in some aspects. You ought to give Chile a thumbs up
for at least trying to change. The giant nation two borders to Chile
will never learn. The State Owned mindset and Crony Capitalists will never innovate.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18020623

Yes, good point. I think the IT industry abuses this the most, bringing in indentured slave labor on h1 visas who don't really contribute anything in the context of entreprenuality. US should redo its visa laws to allow more entrepreneurs and less IT workers into the US.

It's all very well criticising the US system, but I wonder how many more visas in the US could be handed out to those seeking to start new businesses if it weren't for the large businesses abusing the system in order to avoid paying the higher rates normally demanded by those already in the US?

You don´t kwnow nothing about Brazil, the social system maybe unfair, but there are more innovation coming from Brazil than any southamerican coutry. Compare Petrobras, Nature, Embraer and even government, e-elections the best, reliable and fast system of the world. Tech Innovation from chile, what or who?

Hi,
Good to hear postives with a touch of pragmatism. I have done most if not all of my business career in London, and like you I see the pontential and the need to do things in Chile. Also like you, I share some frustration arising from the way things are done in Chile, especially when I am able to return home.

Despite the fact that Chileans do not have access to venture capital money or the business guidance that comes with it, I think we could do with the exposure to international business a bi tmore. Our mindset needs improvement and despite having taken some interesting steps, we are still a small and isolated developing country far away from the key business centres in the world.

thanks for supporting and promoting change at home and please soldier on. Best wishes, Alex

People do know english. however most are shy to speak it because education focused for a few generations on "writting skills" rather than speaking.

I personally do not think that the language barrier is a deal breaker, you either need to talk to the right people or hire an interpreter.
By interpreter I do not just mean someone able to translate your words or get your message across, that 's the easy part..must also be deeply familiar with our local idiosyncrasy and business culture, otherwise you will surely fail.

i agree with you, but the education is more than that, the education is common good, and responsability social, and the state should provide a education with quality and free,if not, is difficult make a country more equal, chile is one of the most inequal countries of the world
